I asked a few players in the game, and their VidMem was relective of what they had onboard their vid card.

I've reloaded drivers....no change

Wiped Operating System...and reloaded Windows..... same VidMem reading as in the screencapture.

Just want to make sure that this new card is defective or not.

Any help appreciated.

AFAIK Windows, or some versions, do not report the vid memory accurately in AH. It makes no difference to performance.

I'm surprised you only show 3 GB RAM for system memory.
